Disappointments of 2010

Christina Aguilera - Bionic

Overall 2010 was a massive disappointment for Christina, she released the first single 'Not Myself Tonight' which turned out to be a minor hit in the UK and USA, however the album did far worse than expected. The album did get number 1 in the UK however it holds the record for the biggest drop from number 1. It is sad because she does have one of the best voices out there, but she cannot seem to get a hit at the moment. There are a few good songs on the album such as 'Vanity', 'Bionic' and 'You Lost Me', however the album did not click with the buying public and promotion cannot be put to blame.

 

Alesha Dixon - The Entertainer

Alesha Dixon returned in 2010 with her third studio album 'The Entertainer'. Both singles 'Dummer Boy' and 'Radio' failed to do well and the album charted at number 84 within the UK. There has already been rumours that Alesha will be dropped if her new single "Every Little Part of Me", featuring English urban singer, Jay Sean does not do well. 

 

Ciara - Basic Instinct

Ciara released her 4th Studio album in December 2010, even though the album itself is good, the album stalled at 44 in the Billboard 200 and did not make it into the UK charts. I think this can be put down to the constant changing of the release date and the very poor promotion of the record. Now with two flop albums in a row, will there be 5th Ciara album?

The Black Eyed Peas - The Beginning

The Black Eyed Peas released 'The Beginning' in late 2010, with the single 'The Time (Dirty Bit)' showcasing how annoying this album is. The album has not done anywhere near as well as 'The END' and after a few listens I wanted to turn it off. Generic electronic pop with no effort into the production.
